WWE is touring Italy and has a live (Raw) event tonight in Rome. Titus O’Neil posted a few photos featuring some of the rassler’s enjoying their down time, and one includes bitter rivals Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns together at the Roman Colosseum. Considering Reigns is nursing “internal injuries” and Strowman suffered a “torn rotator … Read More
On his show Monday night, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel revealed his newborn son’s health scare/crisis during one of the most emotional monologues you’ll ever see on television. As Kimmel told the audience before beginning, the story had a happy ending. What he didn’t pre-reveal is his story also had an immensely serious message. Along … Read More
It doesn’t get more powerful musically in the 1980’s and quite possibly any decade before or since than when music royalty Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney collaborated on a song. If you’re into today’s music, it’s the equivalent of a Bruno Mars/Ed Sheeran duet. “Say Say Say” was actually the second time the two got … Read More
If you’ve followed this countdown thus far, I offer your biggest takeaway—-George Benson originals ain’t shit compared to those that’ve covered him. Benson originally recorded “Nothing’s Going To Change My Love For You”, which eventually was covered by Glenn Mederios and a huge hit in 1986 (No. 86 on this countdown). Lightning strikes again here. … Read More
So this tweet from CBS Sports NFL insider Jason LaCanfora happened early Monday afternoon. First and foremost it’s worth noting that LaCanfora should be applauded for his Buffalo Bills front office and coaching staff reporting in recent months. He was the first to suggest Rex Ryan could be fired before last season ended (he was) … Read More
Tendering my thoughts on the Buffalo Bills 2017 NFL draft late Sunday/early Monday as opposed to real time is no accident. I’m inherently wired with a formidable tendency to dramatize everything the Bills do and express knee jerk reactions in lieu of marinating thoughts before penning opinions. I decided this year to mentally process the … Read More
That drum beat tho. I don’t care how cheesy and overall meaningless “Mickey” by Toni Basil is. I loved it and its catchy chorus when it hit radio in 1982 as a 11-year old, and I still get down with it today. I also cherished the music video, which likely was south of $300 to … Read More
I can’t say Sheila E. is the best drummer that’s ever lived. That’s preposterous. However, I dare you to name a percussionist that’s ever done 360 spins regularly while playing without missing a single beat—and looked sexier doing it. Good luck with that. Barely teenage Patrick Moran was obsessed with Sheila E. after “The Glamorous … Read More
For no particular rhyme or reason other than being fun for me to do and hopefully you to read, I’ve decided to occasionally recap old WWE Monday Night Raw shows (Smackdown will be a future project). At least for me, it’s cool to recreate many Monday nights I evidently didn’t recall as easily as I … Read More
I must make a confession. When doing research and brainstorming before completing my first draft of this countdown, I omitted Debbie Gibson’s “Only In My Dreams” from it. It’s not that I wasn’t a fan, I was—I simply felt there were 100 songs from the 80s I enjoyed more. I was wrong. There’s a handful … Read More
